Gene editing technologies are presented as a transformative approach for correcting pathogenic variants and modulating disease pathways in cardiovascular disease.
Next-generation editors and targeted delivery systems have expanded the scope of feasible cardiovascular applications, but biological barriers still limit translation to well tolerated durable one-time genomic therapies.
Emerging editing technologies aim to overcome limited vector cargo capacity, PAM incompatibility, chromatin accessibility, suboptimal editing efficiency, and off-target activity.
Successful clinical translation of gene and base editing for cardiovascular disease depends on efficient and precise delivery and on mitigating immunogenicity and toxicity from both delivery vectors and gene-editing enzymes.
